Towel Drills Back in 2009!

Love the Cubs? Have an opinion? Want to express it in a forum read by dozens of Cubs fans on a bi-annual basis?
Then we're looking for you.

Hate getting paid to do stuff? Live in your parent's basement? Think you know more than everyone else, so much so that you create your own forum to prove it? Then we're also looking for you.

Towel Drills started last year as a way for a few friends to share their Cubs rants with even more friends. Somewhere along the line, you, Cubs Fan, started paying attention. Before long, Towel Drills was bigger than Jebus. And now we're asking for your help to continue to grow TD into the Blogawesomeosphere.

TD is looking to take on a few additional writers for the upcoming season. We need people who can commit to posting on a regular basis and who have access to post throughout the day. We're specifically seeking at least one "news man" who can post breaking Cubs news the segundo it drops. Freedom to also write about what interests you in relation to the Cubs we can offer. Any other form of payment, monetary, seshual, or other, we cannot (but only b/c the seshual thing is illegal).

If you're interested in trying your hand at blogging, hit us up at toweldrills@gmail.com. How you "apply" is up to you. Send us some writing, some ideas, an 8x10 glossy of Ronnie Woo Woo (please, don't), send bags of cash (please, do)-your call. We're looking forward to adding some talent to the staff and to continue making TD the best gosh darn TD it can be!

RECENT POSTS

Over the last 30 days two major stories have come out about Cubs fans beating up and assaulting opposing teams fans. The first one occurred earlier in the month (of July) when a party in Huntley cost a Sox Fan his eye. The Chicago Trib reports:

"The Associated Press reported the party started out as a Sesame Street-themed birthday party for a 2-year-old girl...Robert Steele, 32, the injured Sox fan, was pushed to the ground at the party and kicked several times, including once in the right eye...Boguslaw Czapla, 37, of Elmwood Park, Jaroslaw's brother [cubs fans], was charged with felony counts of aggravated battery and mob action...Jaroslaw Czapla, 31, the brother who hosted the party, was charged with misdemeanor battery and felony mob action, police said...A neighbor who said she has known Jaroslaw Czapla for about five years but who declined to give her name called him a good father and a hard worker. She also described him as an avid Cubs fan who once named a pet dog Wrigley."

Key words in this article: MOB ACTION, BATTERY, STEEL TOE BOOTS and a pet dog WRIGLEY. When did Cubs fans start beating up Sox fans? At what point in time did we start wearing steel toe boots to a 2-year olds birthday party...in the middle of the summer.

Second Cubs violent act occurred last night in Milwaukee. Again the CT reports:

"Three Chicago area men are accused of beating up a suburban Milwaukee man who police say threw a beer at their bus after the Milwaukee Brewers' loss to the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park...The men are 25, 26 and 34 years old...The Brewers fan was cited for disorderly conduct and...he suffered cuts to his face and had a tooth knocked out. The 34-year-old Chicago area man also received a municipal ticket for assault and battery after police say he punched his sister in the mouth as she tried to intervene in the fight."

Key words in this article: BREWERS' LOSS, TOOTH KNOCKED OUT, PUNCHED HIS SISTER and BUS. Okay so this story is a little bit better than the first because at least there was an instigating factor. If the BUS was really cool I too would be upset that this Brewers' fan just jacked up my sweet paint job...however what makes this very uncool and southside like is the punching of the sister...REALLY? I cant wait until the Christmas and these two have to hang out again.

Maybe Sox fans are leaving their team, breaking loyalty and become Cubs fans. Because these types of actions are unheard of. We at Towel Drills look down upon and do not endorse these types of actions, however we are proud to talk about them and to exploit them to the fullest.

Did you mean when did Cubs fans become obnoxious? Let me see...turns out they always have been.

The past ten years have seen the northside overtaken with pent up homoerotic angst ridden cubs fans who throw sweet ass keggers with the sigma chi buddies. Chicago: when did you become Ann Arbor?

Sox Fan 4 Ever

Hey Jag Off, Cubs fans can never be s tough as Sox Fans and Sox fans will never be stupid enough to be Cubs fans, like the Cubs are actually going to win the Division and if they do they will lose in the Playoffs breaking millions of hearts in the Cubby nation once again@

The entire outfield in the biggest gay bar in America is filled with North Side trash. Apparently they like to go to Milwaukee and 2 year olds birthdays as well. As quoted in Animal house - fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life! Sure there are some hot sperm burpers out there (the female sluts I mean)...who do you think are the drunkest drunks in the Bleachers…Bums??

Cubs fans suck. Will always suck. Will NEVER see a World Series with their team in it. It would be nice to just see them know who is playing for their team.

Insightful article. Yes, in fact, all southsiders are dirty-fighting scum, whereas all northsiders are angelic long-suffering nuns. Must be something in the beer (Sox and Brewers' parks both serve Miller beers -- COINCIDENCE?).

You could have made your point about the .01% of Cubs fans, without being rather quite rude to the 99.9% of Sox fans who are perfectly decent people.

Amen Sabrina! Well said. Lets see if I can return the favor on his generalization. This blog article was the typical thoughtless nonsense to be expected of a article from a Cub Fan. Last I checked, noone's been shot leaving a Sox game. Go Brewers, or whoever is playing the Cubs!
